some months afterwards, Lib. 11.183. discussed the question: Is it according to Scripture and reason that women should act as public teachers in the Church, in large assemblies, except in cases of special inspiration? and unanimously sided with Paul in the negative. The assumption of the headship of the male is curiously involved in the Putneyite affirmation that there is no intrinsic difference between property in persons and property in things; and that the same spirit which abolished exclusiveness in regard to money, would abolish, if circumstances allowed full scope to it, exclusiveness in regard to women and children. Paul expressly places property in women and property in goods in the same category, and speaks of them together, as ready to be abolished by the advent of the Kingdom of Heaven (Noyes's American Socialisms, p. 625; and cf. ante, 2.289). See, on the other hand, Adin Ballou's scriptural defence of the equality of the sexes as maintained by his community (Lib. 1
ith the happiness of mankind, and what ought to be rejected as an example or rule of action—what is the letter that killeth, and what the spirit that maketh alive. When the various books of the Bible were written, or by whom they were written, no man living can tell. This is purely a matter of conjecture; and as conjecture is no certainty, it ceases to be authoritative. Nor is it of vast consequence, in the eye of reason, whether they to whom the Bible is ascribed wrote it or not; whether Paul was the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, or of any other Epistle which is attributed to him; whether Moses wrote the Pentateuch, or Joshua the history of his own exploits, or David the Psalms, or Solomon the Proverbs; or whether the real authors were some unknown persons. What is writ, is writ, and it must stand or fall by the test of just criticism, by its reasonableness and utility, by the probabilities of the case, by historical confirmation, by human experience and observation, by t

by Henry C. Wright, who had returned from Europe in September, and, hearing in Boston first on Lib. 17.151, 174. October 8 of his friend's condition, had travelled as fast as the elements would permit to his bedside. On the 18th the sick man, after five weeks of prostration, during which his life had hung in the balance, was able to drive out. Lib. 17.175. W. L. Garrison to his Wife. Cleveland, Oct. 19, 1847. Ms. I am going to try to write you a few lines, with my own hand, as Paul says; but whether I shall succeed, or not, is at least problematical. My hand is unsteady, and I am too weak as yet to make an effort of any kind without considerable difficulty. The arrival in Cleveland of dear H. C. Wright took me almost Oct. 14, 1847. as much by surprise as if he had descended from the clouds. Of course, I was very deeply affected by his presence; but though my heart leaped to see him, I almost felt to regret that a few dear friends had taxed themselves to defray the

The rain, which was pouring down so copiously when we left Boston, accompanied us nearly all the distance, an immense quantity having fallen over a wide tract of country. . . . In the course of another hour, I shall be on my way to our meeting at the Tabernacle, bound in the spirit, as Paul said of old, not knowing the things that shall befall me there, saving that bonds and afflictions abide with me, in every city, though none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto me, in comparison with the sacred cause to which I have so long been consecrated. That our meeting will be a stormy one, I have very little doubt—perhaps brutal and riotous in the extreme;—for Bennett, in each number of Jas.

which are so widely felt for John Brown, whose doom is so swiftly approaching, we desire to say—once for all—that, judging him by the code of Bunker Hill, we think he is as deserving of high-wrought eulogy as any who ever wielded sword or battle-axe in the cause of liberty; but we do not and cannot approve any indulgence of the war spirit. John Brown has, perhaps, a right to a place by the side of Moses, Joshua, Cf. ante, 2.190. Gideon, and David; but he is not on the same plane with Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John, the weapons of whose warfare were not carnal, though mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. But the professedly Christian church, with all Christendom, rejects our peaceful interpretation of Christianity, and has no right, therefore, to measure him by any higher standard than its own. He joined with the Executive Committee of the Lib. 29.174. American Anti-Slavery Society in recommending a wide-spread observance of December 2, the day on which John Brown was to be
